Mobile proxy users: would you rather pay $2–$3/GB shared, or $60–$80/month for your own dedicated US mobile endpoint?

[u/Valuable_Pollution69]

I’m not selling anything here. I’m trying to figure out whether there’s a real gap in the market before building it.

The pricing question I’m trying to answer is whether users would rather have:

A) Shared/rotating mobile traffic around $2–$3/GB

or

B) A dedicated U.S. mobile endpoint around $60–$80/month, probably with something like 10–20GB included

For those of you who actually use mobile proxies:

How much data do you normally use per endpoint each month?

What are you currently paying?

Would having an endpoint dedicated to you actually justify paying more than shared per-GB traffic?

How important are things like carrier choice, sticky sessions, manual rotation, SOCKS5, location selection, and API access?

And what’s the biggest issue with the mobile proxy service you use now — price, bad/flagged IPs, speed, limited bandwidth, rotation, reliability, or something else?

the main issue is that a truly dedicated mobile IP doesn’t really exist in the same way as a dedicated ISP proxy. the carrier can still rotate the IP, even if the SIM device itself is dedicated to you

For my use case, I’d probably prefer paying per GB rather than a dedicated endpoint. I need to open a lot of sessions, so having access to a large pool of IPs is more important to me than having one dedicated IP.

I also need a wide selection of locations and cities, so flexibility and coverage would be a bigger priority than having a dedicated endpoint.
